Alternative Data
The Taskforce is interested but worried.
Alternative Data are pieces of consumer information not traditionally incorporated into a consumer s credit report: rent payments, for example, or utility bill payments. Deepening the pool of information available to creditors can help both the creditor and the consumer. So, as far as that goes, the Taskforce is for it.
